巴黎——法國民航官員已經(jīng)證實(shí)，一架載有142名旅客和六名機(jī)組人員的德國客機(jī)周二在法國南部墜毀。這架飛機(jī)由巴塞羅那飛往杜塞爾多夫。

The wreckage of the aircraft, an Airbus A320 operated by Germanwings, a budget subsidiary of Lufthansa, was located by a French military helicopter near the town of Prads-Haute-Bléone, according to Eric Héraud, a spokesman in Paris for the aviation authority, the Direction Générale de l’Aviation Civile.

失事飛機(jī)是一架空中客車A320客機(jī)，隸屬于漢莎航空旗下廉價航班運(yùn)營商德國之翼。法國民航局發(fā)言人埃里克·黑拉德說，飛機(jī)的殘骸已在上普羅旺斯阿爾卑斯省的巴爾瑟洛內(nèi)特鎮(zhèn)附近找到。

The pilots declared an emergency at 10:47 a.m. local time and descended rapidly to around 5,000 feet, from a cruising altitude of 38,000 feet, while flying over the town of Barcelonnette in the Alpes de Haute Provence region, Mr. Héraud said.

黑拉德說，當(dāng)?shù)貢r間上午10點(diǎn)47分，飛行員曾報告緊急狀況，飛機(jī)從3.8萬英尺的巡航高度快速下降至大約5000英尺。

President François Hollande of France said many of the victims were German. “The conditions of the accident, which have not yet been clarified, suggest that there might not be any survivors,” he said.

法國總統(tǒng)奧朗德說，多數(shù)死難者是德國人。“事故的情況還不清楚，但很可能沒有幸存者，”他說。

A local official in the region, speaking on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly, said that an initial survey of the area by a helicopter showed that debris had been spread over five acres of a very craggy area.

當(dāng)?shù)匾幻賳T說，直升機(jī)初步勘察發(fā)現(xiàn)殘骸散落在方圓5英畝的崎嶇山地上。這名官員未授權(quán)公開發(fā)言，因此要求匿名。
